Family
Married/ Related to: Children: 2. Adelaide-Blanche d'Anjou 11) 5)Born between 945 and 950 11) Died 1026 11) Buried Montmajor, Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain 11) Notes: That Adelaide-Blanche is the mother of William II is clearly demonstrated by contemporary charter evidence. While several mainstream reference works have identified Arsinde de Comminges as William II's mother, those works are incorrect. For example, see Adelaide's charter, dated 1018 where she is identified as WIlliam's mother: http://www.cn-telma.fr/originaux/charte3995/. There are at least 4 other independent charters verifying this claim. Adelaide alias Blanche married at least four times. |
